Abstract:Higher education institutions have a growing problem with deviant behavior that not only interrupts but also hurts students’ mental and emotional health and violates school regulations. This research focused on different forms and reasons for deviant behavior in the university context. To investigate the perceived reasons for school deviance in a higher education institution in Abra, a descriptive-correlational and comparative study focusing on factors related to the individual, family, school, and society was used. The study employed statistical methods for a records review of the types and frequencies of deviance recorded from 2021 to 2024, along with questionnaires, which revealed the perceived causes of deviant behaviors. The connection between demographic characteristics and the perceptions of deviance among 233 students, 24 administrators, and 20 core faculty members was also examined. The No Helmet, No Entry policy infractions were the most frequently observed deviant behavior. The year level, program, and mother’s educational attainment are the most significant predictors of school deviance. The respondents’ views on the reasons for deviance were largely the same. The school security force may implement a safety awareness campaign to maintain compliance with the no-helmet policy. Teachers should foster an atmosphere of inclusivity and respect, while the Student Affairs Office could organize media literacy workshops as part of its activities. Peer mentoring and orientation programs can be beneficial for new students, and readily accessible mental health services can help meet their emotional needs. The use of qualitative methods is strongly recommended for future researchers who seek deeper insights. For maximum impact, these efforts should be planned and executed efficiently.

Abstract:his descriptive and correlational study provided valuable insights into implementing Community-Based Treatment and Care Services in the Municipality of Magsingal, Ilocos Sur, a crucial initiative for addressing substance use issues. By evaluating the effectiveness of programs for Persons Who Used Drugs (PWUDs), measuring their satisfaction, identifying challenges faced during implementation, and proposing solutions, the study contributes to improving treatment outcomes and policy development. The findings can inform local efforts to enhance rehabilitation services, support recovery, and prevent relapse, ultimately benefiting the community and promoting long-term well-being for PWUDs.The study's respondents were PWUDs who had graduated from the Community-Based Treatment and Care Services in Magsingal and were selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered using a questionnaire checklist and analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and Bivariate Correlation Analysis. The findings reveal that a significant percentage of respondents are aged 41-50 years, male, married, have completed high school, are unemployed, had used drugs for less than one year before treatment, and primarily abused shabu. Based on these findings, recommendations include collaboration with organizations such as DSWD, universities, DepEd, DOLE, NGOs, PDEA, and PNP to prevent relapse, facilitate early recovery, and promote gender-specific interventions. It is also suggested that job preparedness programs be implemented to equip PWUDs with the skills and credentials needed for stable employment and optimize scheduling to ensure reliable and accessible delivery of CBDRP programs.
